214. I should be in District 1
"Yes, with Zhou Ping's current strength, it should be easy to get a place. ”
On the side, Zhu Tong's voice suddenly sounded, sounding a little sour.
She felt a little indignant in her heart.
This guy didn't talk much, he said that he wanted to make an appointment with himself, but he didn't come over for two days......
While eating, Zhou Ping made a phone call to Vic.
Among the people Zhou Ping knew, it seemed that only Vic had great energy and could help relatively easily.
After the meal, when everyone walked out of the villa, a striking elongated Lincoln, a silver-white Rolls-Royce, and a champagne-colored Bentley had stopped outside.
Kraft stepped forward and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhou, the young master instructed us to take you to the auction site. ”
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Zhou Ping nodded lightly.
Everyone in the back was stunned.
They were going to go out to take a few taxis, but they didn't expect to see such a big battle when they came out.
Especially Zhu Tong, looking at Zhou Ping's back, little stars were about to pop up in his eyes.
Zhou Ping didn't actually expect it.
He called Vic just to ask him to find a way to get a place in the auction, and exchanged a few pleasantries by the way.
Vic is too face-saving for himself.
Coupled with the previous private jet, Kraft and others have helped him in the past two days, and Zhou Ping feels that he owes more and more favors.
Tsk, worthy of being the son of a real wealthy family in the United States, the pattern is extraordinary!
I know that doing this is for you, but when I sell favors, I can't refuse at all.
All you can do is marvel at the other person's generosity and feel gratitude to him in your heart.
It seems that in the future, we should pay more attention to the financial dynamics and make up for this favor as soon as possible.
The Los Angeles International Auction House, from the outside, looks like a medieval palace, with black marble walls that make the entire venue look imposing.
The group came to the entrance, and the auction had not officially begun.
"Manyun, you're here!"
A middle-aged man walked quickly towards Zhou Ping and his group and said enthusiastically.
Glancing at Zhou Pingren, he couldn't help frowning, and then looked at Luo Manyun.
"Manyun, what's wrong with the number of people?"
Although the person lowered his voice, he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, just enough for people to hear him.
"Teacher, these are my high school classmates. We hadn't seen each other since we graduated from high school, and we got together when we came to the United States. Luo Manjun immediately explained.
"Aren't you fooling around?"
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Although I am here on behalf of the Chinese Ancient Culture Inheritance Association, this is an international-level auction. ”
"It's good to be able to get those places, and now you're going to let me add them for you?"
"Teacher ......"
Luo Manyun lowered his voice a little embarrassed and said, "There is no need to increase the number of places......
The middle-aged man's face softened slightly, and he took out a stack of admission tickets from his pocket.
"These are admission tickets, you can take them and distribute them!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man looked at everyone again: "Thank you for taking care of Manyun in the past two days, I haven't been able to take care of her too much in the past two days, thank you for these admission tickets." ”
"But I'm sorry, my ability is limited, and now I can't get a spare admission place, as for which student won't enter, you can discuss it yourself!"
This middle-aged man's words sounded high-sounding, but Zhou Ping felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard it.
Who is this guy?
What does it mean to thank yourself for taking care of Lomanyun?
"Teacher, you misunderstood, the admission ticket you gave is enough, and our classmates have their own places. Lomanjun continued.
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Is this so, seeing that your classmates are relatively young, someone can actually get the admission quota for this auction! I think it should be a young talent, why don't you introduce it to the teacher?"
As he spoke, he was already quickly searching for it in the crowd.
Zhou Ping frowned slightly, this person is too good at pretending!
"Are you Manyun's teacher? My name is Zhou Ping, which is what you call a young talent!" Zhou Ping said with a big grin.
The corners of the middle-aged man's eyes trembled obviously, and he looked at Zhou Ping who was speaking.
The next moment, he laughed and said enthusiastically: "My name is Jia Ren, I teach in the Department of Archaeology of South China University, and Man Yun is a graduate student under me. This time I can take her out to see the world!"
Zhou Ping also said with a smile: "Manyun is the most top-notch outstanding student in our high school, and I would like to thank Teacher Jia for taking care of Luo Manyun for us on behalf of my classmates." ”
The smile on Jia Ren's face was a little embarrassed.
Of course he knew that Zhou Ping was satirizing what he had just said.
"Well, the auction is about to start, in that case, let's go first! Mr. Zhou, we won't sit together if we want to come to the meeting, we can only have a good chat when the auction is over. ”
When Jia Ren said this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
In his opinion, Zhou Ping just briefly introduced his name, and he didn't even introduce his elders or identity, so he didn't have much background when he thought about it.
It is estimated that even if you get a place, it is the most marginal and worst position.
And he came on behalf of the Chinese Ancient Culture Inheritance Association, and many Chinese billionaires who participated in the auction this time have a very good relationship with him.
Through those people, he also got some better seats.
The venue doesn't look obvious, and after entering the venue, I know that the outside is just the tip of the iceberg, and the inside is the real difference.
The entire venue, divided into three areas, can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
The publicity of this auction is a big deal, especially the organizer spent a lot of money to do all kinds of inducing publicity in the Chinese circle, which has a huge impact.
In addition, there are indeed many cultural relics that can be called Chinese national treasures in this auction, so in addition to overseas Chinese, there are also many other parties, and there are almost no spare seats.
The group walked into the venue, and after entering the venue, Jia Ren looked at Zhou Ping, raised his finger to the front, and said lightly: "Mr. Zhou, then let's break up here first! Our seat is over there, and it shouldn't be in the same area as you." ”
Nodding, Zhou Ping said in the same flat tone: "It's true that it's not in the same area, you should belong to the third district, and I should be in the first district." ”
"Hehe! District 1...... Belch...... You say, your location is in the first district?!"
Jia Ren looked at Zhou Ping in disbelief.
"Impossible!"
He almost subconsciously said, "Those who sit in District 1 are rich people with assets of more than 100 million, and they can't sit there based on relationships." ”
Immediately, Jia Ren seemed to remember something, or felt that what he had just said was a little inappropriate, so he quickly changed his words and said:
"You can't be mistaken, you're in the first row of the third district, right?"
